 JV> Mmm.. Some BIOS require that you call 16/1 to update things..

 JV> mov  ds,dx
 JV> mov  bx,0017h
 JV> mov  al,[bx]            ; Get the byte at 0040:0017
 JV> xor  al,00100000b       ; Toggle bit 5, NumLock
 JV> mov  [bx],al            ; Put it back into 0040:0017

 JV> Here's one that talks to the ports. 
that worked. but when i put it in a loop (do/while) in C++ it locks
up the computer, no ctrl-break, so i gotta reboot. I don't know exactly
how many time i'm gonna have to tell ya'll how horrible i am at assembly.
I use it so sparingly that i don't know what to do other than to type what
you put in your letters and to change the numbers. thas what i did and it
only seems to do the NumLock key (10000000b,01000000b,00100000b, etc..).
i even removed the 'ret' to see wat'd happen, nuthin there... i'm not sure
how i'm supposed to addapt this to make all 3 lights flicker a bit and then
sontinue on with my program...
